What Attendees Are Saying

This was an extremely valuable presentation that equipped me with some important new person-centered language including the concept of "fake love" and "moving at the speed of trust" -- as well as information about projects that are putting these concepts into productive community-driven action. These community-led models appropriately recognize members of the communities to be served as the most important experts on their lives. I will recommend that members of my team listen to the recording.
